Rachel discusses "our corporate overlords, GE" in piece on tax avoiders.

Is it bad enough that the most profitable company pays no taxes? No? Then how about if we take some of your hard-earned pay and give it to them through a tax rebate. Negative tax.

Conoco CEO says it would be "un-American" to stop paying subsidies to oil companies.

Charles Schumer (D-NY) is the guest.

Runs just over nine minutes.
